Abstract: The system 100 can include: a railroad integration system, a motion planner, a vehicle controller, an optional user interface (UI), an optional fleet management system, and an optional track data system. However, the system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to facilitate vehicle control and/or manage authority within a rail network.

Abstract: The system can include: a vehicle and a remote operator platform. The system can optionally include or be used with a motion planner and a set of remote data systems. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system can function to facilitate remote monitoring of a vehicle system(s), such as an unmanned rail vehicle, and/or positive train control (PTC) when operating under speed-restriction rules. Additionally, the system can function to facilitate remote monitoring, tele-operation, and/or exception handling across multiple vehicles/trains by a single operator. Additionally, the system can function to adjust command of a remotely monitored vehicle based on the observability of the environment and/or response capability of a remote monitor/tele-operator (e.g., based on line-of-sight, video latency, etc.).

Abstract: The system can include: a motion planner and a switch management system. The system can optionally include or operate in conjunction with a vehicle controller, a user interface (UI), and a track data system. However, the system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to facilitate vehicle control and/or manage authority, in the form of exclusive track reservations, within a rail network. Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to manage switch positions (and/or operation based on switch positions) within a rail network.

Abstract: The method S100 can include: determining a remote operation request Silo; optionally determining a priority of the remote operation request S120; providing vehicle data to a remote operator S130; responding to the remote operation request S140; and optionally training a model based on the response S150. However, the method S100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method S100 functions to facilitate remote assistance of a vehicle operating within a rail network (e.g., operation of unmanned vehicles within restricted track regions). Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to facilitate remote validation/verification of vehicle operations and/or rail infrastructure status.
